    @the-best-manager-in-the-world_nl Also there already! Set live on this morning update!

    If you still don't see them, just 'force' a cache update by pressing CTRL + F5 or Shift + F5 (depending on Browser)

    @specialone Hi mate, small question. It appears I can see the player positions in Microsoft Edge, but not in Google Chrome. I have cleared my cache and everything but that still didn't change anything. Any idea what is causing this?

    Thanks.

      @specialone said in Player positions don't show on windows, only on phone app..:

      Some of the OSM features are 'limited' to a single browser.

      This means that if you keep switching browsers, you risk to not have those features on any of them.

      We're aware of this limitation and trying to solve it, but we've no estimated date for it.

      Until then, our advise is that you should avoid as much as possible to log on web on different devices/browsers. Stick to same device and browser to have all features enabled!

          Nice touch with the green around the player when he is in position on the formation screen. Any chance of doing something like this for nationality bonus?

            For managers who play 451 and 4231 its really hard to find RM and LM players in transferlist and there aren't too many players with this specific position especially if you're looking to get 80 - 85+ rating player. If you use scout you can choose only RM or LM and I would like something to change about this. Make the scout to search for both RM and LM in same time and maybe add more players with this specific positions.

              @isabellone I agree with this. After a few weeks I think detailed positions don't work for OSM. It's not possible to analyze the impact of placing a player on a different position in the same line. Also the Transfer List in OSM is very limited. It happened quite often that there was only 1 really better player on the transfer list. Now it may occur that that player is a Left Forward while I already have 2 players for this position. We need more players on the transfer list now there are more specific positions.

              Also @JetonT. 's comment has been posted here before, I am wondering if still working on improvement or considering going back to the situation before the specific player positions were introduced. The MR and ML are indeed the worst positions to find a new player, but there are also times when there is not a single RF, LF, LB or RB available of decent level.

              Last point is that the new system reduces tactical options. You have to choose between for example 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 B if you want to make a good team. You need 14 top level players if you want to be able to switch between these 2 formations. And when my RF is injured or tired then I have to use a less ideal player on that position. In OSM it's not possible to build a squad with a decent backup on every position (like I do on football manager).

                Same as a lot of formations. 523a and 523b the two midfielders don’t even move, yet they change from CDM and CM😂for this to work well certain players need to play a few different positions just like in real life. Certain CM can play CAM and CDM for example. Some LF and RF should be able to play on both wings, LM/RM ect. (Not all of them, just ones that can in real life)

                I watch Leeds nearly every game. Dallas has played LB/RB and midfield etc. We have CBs that play in CDM etc. Just having one postion per player to swap formations and keep position bonus and keep is near impossible without having a team with 30+ squad players.

                  @jeffro-davies I agree. Leeds players are damn versatile.

                  Luke Ayling: RB, CB
                  Dallas: CAM, CB, LB, RB
                  Jamie Shackleton: LM, CAM, RB
                  Rodrigo: Anywhere along the frontline

                  Simply put, OSM needs utility players!

                    @aweijie
                    True. I had suggested this three months ago. By the way Leeds defenders can play as attacking midfielders which is very shocking😲😲 The best utility player in Liverpool is James Milner. Looks like Klopp needs to train them other positions too. In the main lineup as much as I know, Bobby Firmino is the best utility player.

                      Hi everyone! Multi-position players it's becoming urgent! For example, Cancelo is RB / LB or Sule is CB / RB. The game would win a lot with this!

                        New in OSM: Specific Positions! We heard your call about more possibilities to expand your tactical skills as a manager in surveys, social platforms and emails. Thanks for that! We especially loved the idea of more player positions.

                        From now on, players in OSM have a specific position instead of only defender, midfielder and forward. For example, Sergio Ramos is now a centre back.

                        In OSM, players perform best in their own specific position, but they can still play in other positions in the line. Beware: players still perform worse in a different line.

                        Use your Scout or the Transfer List to build your best team with the specific positions of the players.

                              We really need multy positions to make game more realistic. Jack Grealish plays cam rf and lf but he is only lf on OSM. If game add multy position people will start playing some tactic other than the 4 3 3.
